    *** Honey Walnut Shrimp What you've ordered is what you get. I think the portions were very good and reasonable. Flavor-wise, this is very standard. The Mayo cream is done well and smooth. The shrimp is not overcooked. For a to go order, the restaurant gave us an INCREDIBLY GENEROUS serving of rice that comes with it. ( this alone was enough for me to bump this up to a five star for their level of generosity). The staff is very quick and friendly. They are very prompt with handling there to go orders within the promised time frame. We didn't sit down to eat but the seating area was very spacious and very oriental notes and colors. It's a cute place!

    Fried rice

    The Bánh bột chiên (fried rice flour cake with egg) was as good as I remembered. I have to say, Tan Tan has always made it the best and continue to do so. The rice flour cakes are crispy on the outside with a soft bite on the inside. I love the vinegary soy sauce with pickled jalapeños slices. I can eat this as my main dish and be satisfied. The other dishes we ordered were good too, such as the fried rice and fried noodles. One of the elderly in our group did not enjoy the Bún Bò Huế. It was disappointing actually, because she rarely tries new places so this was a let down. The Bún Bò Huế here strays away from traditional, as it does not include familiar ingredients such as pig feet, but instead puts raw strips of beef in (to allow the soup to cook, similar to pho). She didn't enjoy it. What made it worse was that her soup spoon had dried remains of the previous meal on it. The server did not acknowledge the lack of cleanliness and just replaced it as if it was typical. Overall, I still recommend this place but not for the Bún Bò Huế.

    Since I recently moved to Houston, this place has quickly become my favorite restaurant. I go there very often with my family because the food is absolutely delicious and the menu has a lot of variety. As someone who is a big fan of Asian food and culture, I really enjoy the atmosphere and the overall vibe of the restaurant. The environment is calm and welcoming, and the staff always treats us so well -- they are very attentive and friendly every time we visit. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Houston!

    I am a huge fan of the Tan Tan in Chinatown so I definitely had high expectations for this restaurant. Upon walking into Tan Tan Wok, the staff led us to the adjoining restaurant called Jia Kitchen. I asked our server if we would be served food from Tan Tan, and he said that it was the same thing. Kind of confusing. The restaurant is quite large and there was a large painted mural on the wall which was pleasant to look at. Our server was nice and we had many different attendants throughout the meal that were constantly refilling water and clearing the table. The house special rice cake was good, but I could definitely tell that it was different than the original from Tan Tan in Chinatown. The flat rice noodles caused confusion because there are two different menu items: one is the Tossed flat rice noodle and the other is the Stir fried flat rice noodle. If you want the noodle with a lot of sauce on top of white noodles, order the stir fried noodle. If you want the dry noodle that is all stir fried together, get the Tossed flat rice noodle. I am used to the Bellaire location asking if I want the wet or dry version; I had no idea there would be essentially the same sounding dish listed on the menu twice. The salt toasted tofu was delectable, and had the perfect seasoning and texture. The salt toasted squid was a little off, and the batter was a too little thick and too crunchy. My diagnosis: unfortunately this did not live up to the Tan Tan in Chinatown.

    I came here as a halfway point for me and my friends. What brought me here was the ratings and pictures of the food. The main reason I really wanted to try this place is because I love crispy noodles and I can only find that at the casino in Lake Charles. Surprisingly this place had it and it absolutely did not disappoint. It was such a large portion for a little cost. I ate on it twice. Everyone enjoyed their food - large portions - three of us ordered food for about 50 bucks not bad at all and I can't wait to go back. I did notice there was a lot of to go orders so obviously this place is the spot. The inside was kind of empty, but I almost can understand why the staff is a little unusual. They rush you. From the moment we got in there it was only like two other people eating and they were honestly acting like vultures. We had three different people come within seconds of each other, asking if we were ready to order we were trying to catch up with each other because it was a friend meet and we just felt so rushed and out of place. They were very inpatient and stood by us the entire time as if we were going to dine and dash or something. Luckily the food was that good and inexpensive, it excused the behavior of the staff. I'm almost wondering if it was a culture thing to rush us out of there. The place was very clean even the restrooms. The restaurant was connected to the one next door and that one was very packed.

    My dad and uncle came back with one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes for an afternoon snack. They stopped by Tan Tan Wok in Katy to pick up some bánh bột chiên, their house special rice cakes. A staple from their original location in bellaire, these are eggs and rice cakes cooked together with a bunch of grilled onions and pork fat. They also provide their house made soy sauce, chili sauce, and some minced garlic to top it off, making the perfect savory snack. The eggs are perfectly cooked and the rice cakes are crispy but have such a fluffy interior. They soak up the sauce so well. I could eat these all day.

    A friend highly recommended this spot, and even though I live nearby, I never checked it out until recently for a grad dinner lol! Their menu is endless! Every dish we ordered was spectacular! We got the fried rice, flat noodles, steamed and fried eggplant, mapo tofu, and the walnut shrimp. The beef flat noodles were one of my favs. It had a nice charred flavor. Only comment is that the beef was dry and tough. The fried eggplant was amazinggg. I've only eaten eggplant steamed so the crispiness of the fried eggplant was the best, and it was seasoned well. The mapo tofu flavor wasn't too intense (regarding the numbing sensation). It was a warm and hearty dish. The walnut shrimp was the star of the show - crispy and sweet (loved the candied walnuts). There was plenty of seating! Service was quick!! Since the restaurant is located in the heart of Katy Asian town, parking can be a bit challenging.

    Beef soup
    Kaylee G.

    There are a ton of options from the menu The service was amazing. One of the best! Beef soup 10/10 Shrimp and pork dumplings 10/10 Shrimp flat noodles 7/10 We will definitely come back!

    Noodle all stick together, no taste whatsoever.

    Don't go to this place. It's horrible food and horrible customer service. I went to pick up 4 dishes today. Everything looks ugly and taste terrible. Attached some pictures so you can see how terrible their food is. I also saw a big run out from the kitchen while we waiting for the food.

Time to Order: 20-45 minutes? We were in a group so maybe that's not accurate, but we also ordered a lot. Roti Canai (5/5): One of the best roti Canai I've ever had. The curry is thick with potato and super tender chicken and the roti canai bread is chewy but somehow still flaky and flavorful at the same time. It was so good that I ordered another one for myself to go to let my partner try it at home. Malaysian Chicken Satay (5/5): You will read "tender chicken" in my review several times. It's not a joke. The chicken nearly melts in your mouth. The last time I had meat this tender it was a filet mignon that was 6x the price of this dish. Char Kuey Tow (4.5/5) and Mee Goreng (4.5/5): Yeah we got both the flat noodle and the mee goreng. Because both are awesome. Noodles stayed chewy, beansprout and veggies were great, proteins were great. Not too saucy. Solid. Uncle Chen's Sizzling Tofu (4.5/5): We got this seafood style and it comes loaded with shrimp, calamari.. fantastic. Great by itself or on rice. The middle gets a little soggy if you let it sit too long, so chow down on this whole it's hot! Roasted Hainanese Chicken (4/5): Nothing against the dish itself, I just don't like all the bones. Yes, the chicken was beautifully tender. Chicken rice, also fantastic. Curry Chicken Puff (4.5/5): So this was way more filling than I expected. It's like an intense Asian empanada? Totally worth it. Comes out really hot. Lastly, we got a serenade from the man himself. Yes, he pulls out a mic and sings. It's his break from cooking during the dinner rush. So, you might indeed get dinner and a show! It's beautiful to see someone who enjoys what he's doing - and his voice is such that some people think it's a song over the intercom instead of live music, take that how you will :) TL;DR: Absolutely contends for Best in Katy. Yes, it lived up to the hype. Come and eat family style and you won't be disappointed!

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!

So in all, I did not love these dishes, they were just average tasting but the prices were high for such average to below average taste. There are other choices within walking distance for better tasting food that cost less. I have heard that they have good wonton noodle soup and congee so will try that next time before I write off this restaurant completely, but honestly, it's cheaper and those 3 dishes I ordered are cheaper and tastier at Tan Tan Wok.
